Red Bunny Cactus Care
- Provide the appropriate balance of light and shadow. The root stock cactus must receive sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.
- Place your Red Bunny cactus near a window, but make sure it only receives partial sunlight, as bright light can be harmful. you decide to place your cactus on a windowsill, make sure that the shutters protect it from too much direct sunlight.
- Plant your Red Bunny cactus in well-drained soil. Over-watering a Red Bunny cactus can lead to root rot or mealybug.
- Cactus soil mix is acceptable for Red Bunny cacti, or you can add perlite or coarse sand to the soil for better drainage. Choose a porous clay pot with drainage holes to help drain excess water.

- Place the Red Bunny cactus in a warm environment. Choose a location where the temperature does not drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
